Adjustable ride

I have just fitted a set of links yesterday to my CTT and although my first attempt has set the car too low, I believe they will work a treat. I need to shorten the link length as my first attempt dropped it down to what would be loading level which is just too low for me. Took 30 mins tops to fit and I dont think it will take long to adjust. Will take pics when I adjust it but hope the rain stops here to let me do it!

How was your ride quality affected with the lowering links? Bouncy? Harsh? I have 20" sport technos on my CT, want to lower it, but not willing to comprimise ride quality. Also, when hitting the mountain, I'm worried about ground clearance. With the links, can you still go to terrain height?

I have not had the time to raise them yet but with it very low the ride quality is much harsher on my 22" wheels. I will hopefully get the time today to raise it and see what its like mid way. It is currently about 80mm lower than standard which I think looks cool but wont work comfortably. The terrain level is brought down the same amount so if you do any offroading this is not the answer and the electronic method would be the better one.

imo, try to set at 40mm drop.
i have discussed this over 10 times with 9ff in germany.
i dropped my car below loading level and was tooo bouncy.
i felt like i was in a lowrider...

it feels solid and perfect @ 40mm drop.
my links are set @ +- 4mm per twist.

however, i would say electric module is the best.

i didn't say they(9ff) were the best...

height of suspension was my biggest concern.
i didn't want to ruin my brand new toy cause of few hundred $$$ part.
however, i wanted to take different route and got what i want it.
plus, no one had it in this forum.
i just had try a new product and report back to my family.

yeah, so far so good.
again try to get an ideal height without hurting your suspension.
pasm is not cheap...
